1986 toyota four wheel drive pickup w/fuel injection. After going down the road for about six miles the front brakes locked up. After pulling over to the side of the road and after some time passed they let go letting me get back home. When I went out the next day and started the truck the brakes were locked up again, so hard the truck would not roll.
Help!
Your brake calipers are stuck! replace the brake calpiers and won't hurt to replace the hoses at the same time.
Its the brake booster change it and it will fix the problem, the building the pressure up as if u was hitting the brakes, (brake booster, increases the pressure applied by the foot brake) and not releasing the pressure on the brakes. I had the same Problem hope it helps
I had exactly the same problem too. Not found the solution yet but as the pistons are released by opening the bleed screw it cant be stuck calipers can it? I'm coming round to thinking its the master cylinder or brake servo locking which prevents brake fluid from returning to the brake reservoir. on mine the brake pedal gets tight when it locks up ie no free play at all in the locked condition, but OK when not locked eg after letting it rest for half hour or so.
1. Check the brake fluid levels.
2. Bleed the brakes and see if that fixes it.
3. You might have a blockage in the line - ABS wasn't standard until 1989 so I don't think that's the problem.
4. You may have bad calipers. I'd try replacing them. If you can, take it to a shop first before throwing parts at it to see if they can narrow it down.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
(a) Four-wheel drive control
Use the four-wheel drive control lever and center
differential lock button to select the following transfer and
center differential modes.
The "H" and "L" position of the four-wheel drive control lever
provides either lock or unlock mode of the center differential
depending on the center differential lock button position.
Use the center differential lock system if your wheels get stuck
in a ditch, or when you are driving on a slippery or bumpy
surface. When the center differential is locked, the vehicle
stability control system is automatically turned off and the
center differential lock and "VSC OFF" indicator lights come on
because the function that controls engine performance
As soon as the center differential lock switch is turned
on, the "VSC OFF" indicator light comes on. After the
wheels are out of the ditch or off the slippery or bumpy
surface, turn the center differential lock switch off.
Make sure the center differential lock indicator light and
vehicle stability control system off indicator light turn
off.
"H" (high speed position, center differential unlocked):
Lever at "H", center differential lock button left out
Use this for normal driving on all types of roads, from dry
hard-surfaced roads to wet, icy or snow-covered roads. This
position gives greater economy, quietest ride, least wear and
better vehicle control.
"H" (high speed position, center differential locked): Lever
at "H", center differential lock button pushed in
Use this for greater traction when you experience a loss of
power, such as wheel slipping, in the center differential unlock
mode.
"N" (neutral position): Lever at "N"
No power is delivered to the wheels. The vehicle must be
stopped.
"L" (low speed position, center differential unlocked):
Lever at "L", center differential lock button left out
Use this for maximum power and traction. Use this for climbing
or descending steep hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in
sand or mud.
In this mode, the braking feeling that occurs when the wheels
are negotiating a sharp corner is further reduced than in the "L"
(low position, center differential locked) mode.
"L" (low speed position, center differential locked): Lever
at "L", center differential lock button pushed in
Use this for maximum power and traction. Use this for hard
pulling in situations the vehicle cannot negotiate even in the "L"
(low speed position, center differential unlocked) mode. Also,
using this mode when driving down steep off-road inclines will
help contribute to increased vehicle stability.
